I am very responsible when it comes to having sex. I am on the pill, I continue to use a condom & my boyfriend pulls out ten mins before ejaculation. I know people often say using pull out method isn't needed but i deal with anxiety henceforth, i try to make sure i'm protected by all means. this month all though, i was a lot more sexually active & i was late twice with my pill (once-by 2 hrs, 2nd time-by 1hr30mins). I am extremely nervous even though the condom never broke & i have had it break on my before & was never pregnant. but this time i'm extremely anxious & nauseous. i am supposed to get my period tomorrow but i need reassurance! yesterday, i had brown discharge, very minimal but it scared me because i usually do not spot on the pill before my period. i have been on the pill for 11 months now. please, is there any chance? whys there brown discharge? my boobs were very sore a week before but the soreness has gone down.
